Didn't we decide a while back that you couldn't do that, though? Perhaps I'm misremembering, but I remember there being a whole argument about how you couldn't have two nouns with {- Daq} in a row.
Wow.. Hold on there. Who the jay' said that and based on what Ca'Non?
It depends. The rule says that in a noun-noun construction, only the second noun can have a Type 5 suffix. (TKD, chapter 3.4) It is not okay to say {'elaDya'Daq bIQ'a'} for "a sea in Greece".
Who said I can't say {'elaDya'Daq bIQ'a' vengDaq jIHtaH} for "I'm at Greece at a sea city"?
Now come the "it depends" part: If the first noun in such a row has a type 5 suffx, referring to the following sentence, then it's okay. But of course, it is a different meaning. Compare: - {bIQ'a'Daq jIQal} "I swim in the ocean" - {'elaDya'Daq bIQ'a'Daq jIQal} "I swim in the ocean in Greece". The second sentence should be read as {'elaDya'Daq, bIQ'a'Daq jIQal} (= locative) and not {['elaDya'Daq bIQ'a']-Daq jIQal} (= noun noun construction) -- Lieven L.
